Advanced Filters

Filters allow you to control what displays on your screen. Quick Filters are for simple adjustments; go deeper with Advanced Filters. Here is a great recap on the power of filters. Understanding filter AND OR logic is key to successfully using filters.

Distribute Resources

In Cartegraph, a task is a single activity on a single asset. When documenting the work you have completed, it often makes sense to individually complete each task and identify the resources used at the time you complete your work. In some cases, however, you are doing a lot of work at once—such as trimming all of the trees on a single street—and you are generally spending the same amount of time and resources for each asset. In those cases, we recommend you utilize the Distribute Resources functionality.

Asset Relationships

Creating an asset from the web browser provides you with the additional functionality to define asset relationships. There are two types of asset relationships: Linked Assets and Container Component Assets.

When the assets you selected where installed by Cartegraph, the applicable asset relationships were also established. If you are using an asset that has an established relationship with another asset, you can utilize this functionality.

Linked Assets
